What have eight legs, hunt among a group of fish and can throw a mean sucker punch?
According to research published in Ecology last week, the answer would be octopuses (yes, octopuses, not octopi we asked).
Octopuses punch fish. Deliberately. Sometimes there s a reason, but other times, there s no discernible excuse. Researchers caught this behavior on video.
The first time researcher Eduardo Sampaio witnessed this phenomenon, he laughed. Normally that d be fine but at the time he was underwater wearing scuba equipment.
